He further said, 'Nobody believed that Article 370 would be abolished. But today the NDA government has done the work of abolishing Article 370. We had promised a prosperous India. In 10 years we took the country's economy to fifth place. We promise to make India the third largest economy by 2027.
Amit Shah said that we have provided houses, electricity, gas, toilets, drinking water, free grains and free treatment to 7 crore poor people. On the other hand, the Aghadi Congress President says that whatever promises the Congress makes should be made thoughtfully because you are not fulfilling your promises and I will have to answer. We have the example of Himachal, Telangana and Karnataka.
